Blog / Free Advice and Other Musings

Over the past few days I’ve come across the following thematic convergence of companies thinking about their impact on the environment.

• Over at the FreshBooks blog Mike McDerment has announced their green office initiative: “ways that small professional services companies (i.e. web designers and consultants, many of which are home-based) can operate their offices in environmentally friendly ways.”
• Fortune Magazine reports that Wal-Mart is going green(!)
• From the Patagonia website I learned about the one percent for the planet campaign, which sounds very cool.

Here at Work Industries I’m looking to get involved in a similar effort to that proposed by Freshbooks. As a start over the next few months, I’ll be contributing to a new project launched by Vancity called ChangeEverything.ca.

Check it out to see what folks are doing to make the world a better place, and, if you’re interested, join in and contribute to the effort.
